Last year I believe I posted a recipe for spinach pancakes in the week before St. Patrick’s Day. This year going with the greenish theme, I went with a kiwi waffle. I won’t deny this doesn’t actually look the most appetizing but it really good (as someone who loves kiwis..). I thought about just cutting them up and sticking them in the waffle, but as I was cutting it got messy and they turned into a big pile of goo. So I did what any normal human waffle creator would do…I pureed them and added them into the batter.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup flour
2 eggs (I needed 2 to make sure the waffle stuck together)
1 tablespoon baking powder
Sweetener to choice (I added about ½ cup stevia)
3 pureed kiwis (as stuck into my magic bullet)
½-1 cup water. I used about ¾ cup water and ¾ of the kiwi mixture.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and put into said waffle maker.
Pour rest of kiwi goo on top of your waffle.
Shamrock on.
Questions for you:
- 1. Any St. Patricks Day plans?
- 2. Do you like kiwis?
I’ll be in Vermont next weekend, but no doubt I’ll be checking my phone constantly for race updates on how you do at Shamrock and see if your Dad BQ’s in the full!!!!
I love Kiwis, I never would have thought to put them in waffles though! I like to just peel them and eat them plain, and I can totally demolish like 5 of them at once.
I’ll be texting you! I’m more excited for dad than myself. Running alone gives me far too much time on my hands to think of weird things. True story.
I need to get myself a waffle maker!
Plans for St Paddy’s day….run the Rome marathon!! Then celebrate afterwards with 3 days of partying and holiday-ing in Italy until my 25th birthday on the 20th!
Sounds optimal to me! Ask for a waffle maker for your birthday.
I love kiwi’s his waffle sounds delicious! I will be running a 4mile road race with my dad on St. Patricks day!
Good luck!
I have never tried baking with fruit like that, i mean it sounds amazing. i am such a kiwi fan. My friend used to eat the skin which scared the jeebies out of me.
I eat it with the skin…everyone judges me LOL.
I think the grosser the food looks, the better it tastes so I’m sure your waffle was delish! I’m not too big on St. Patty’s Day because I never really went out to drink until I puked or ran a St. Patty’s Day race or anything. I am a quarter Irish though so I guess it counts for something?
I saw some one running with a Shamrock On shirt yesterday! Woo! I am running the DC rock n roll on st patties day then going to puppy training and probably drinking some green beer. I did a little pre st pattys day fun this weekend and it was great!
I think a lot of people are running that one from the blogging world. I wish it wasn’t the same weekend but I will never give up Shamrock.
And I would have totally done Shamrock if the Rock n roll wasnt so close! Good luck!!!
That does sound a little weird, but I love kiwis and waffles so maybe I shouldn’t judge. Have a great Monday!!
I must admit I don’t like kiwi that much. Too hard to eat lol. I will be celebrating St Patty’s Day early with you my dear
I’m not a big mint fan, so I’m SUPER excited to see a green St. Patty’s day recipe that doesn’t involve mint haha
I don’t care for mint that much either! Glad someone else understands!
I’ve honestly never had kiwis that much. It’s something I definitely need to try again tho! Looks good! I’ll be in NYC for my half on St Patrick’s day so I’m looking forward to experiencing that
Hmmmmmm interesting combo. I love kiwis but they’re super high in potassium so I can’t have them very often. Plans for the weekend include a St. Patty’s day 5k.
I love kiwi! What an interesting way to incorporate it. I’ve literally never thought of eating a kiwi any other way than whole. Must try
Ewww kiwi freaks me out, though that waffle is awfully impressive.
I love kiwis! I even eat the skin on them! But I’ve never thought of having them in pancakes or waffles! The recipe sounds great but I don’t know if I could handle a 1/2 cup of stevia! One or two drops was waaaay to sweet for me! I feel like a half cup would give me blisters in my mouth LOL!
Just goes to show we all have different taste buds
.
Definitely!
I really like kiwis, but they’re one of those fruits that I never actually think to buy. I should probably get on that.
Kiwi is a great spring fruit–need to get some ASAP! I always set them straight up … come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve cooked or baked with them before.
LOVE kiwis!! This is right up my alley
hahahaha I love this – totally fun and St. Patty’s day looking! And I definitely like kiwi better than even pineapples so I bet this would be right up my ally
Love Kiwis!!!
I love Kiwis & strawberries together. Will have to try that on waffles though!!! 
Thanks!
